I have to tell you

Friends -

In a moment, I am going to ask you to make a contribution to our campaign as part of a 48-hour Mid-Month Fundraising Drive. Please give me a chance to explain why this request, especially today, is so important.

Here is the truth:

We are getting very close to the most important FEC fundraising deadline of the campaign. Adding to that, voting is almost underway. In about a month, people will begin casting ballots for president. Putting votes in the bank.

And right now, we are short of where we need to be in order to reach our fundraising goals for the month. And these are not arbitrary goals — they are goals we need to reach in order to win.

So if you have been waiting to make your first online contribution to our campaign, today is the day. And here’s the link:

Can Bernie count on you to make a $2.70 contribution to our campaign as part of our Mid-Month Fundraising Drive? Help us close the gap on our fundraising goals we have to reach in order to win. Bernie needs us.

Our campaign has more volunteers, more donations and more grassroots support than any candidate in this race... by far. And that’s why the big money is coming into stop us. But if we can hit our goals, we can win this thing. But we have to close the gap.

So thank you for chipping in.
